Around the traps it has been said again and again that there was something truly remarkable about the 2013 vintage - Mt Monster's latest Back Block is a glowing example of why! Like a teenager coming of age and starting to converse as opposed to grunting!

This wine will make you smile all day long. Throw some of this Monster into a glass and it will reveal a deep purple colour. A swirl or two and the vibrancy comes through; sprinkles of red brick flicker through, dancing around under the light. A quick sniff and the aromas are lifted dark cherry, black pepper and spice with floral notes with ripe blackberry and plums coming together in a crescendo of aromatic heaven. 

It is Limestone Coast at is fullest, and that comes through on the palate as well, displaying the stereotypical fruit driven style that this region is famous for. There are forest fruits coupled with spice and a touch of tannin that caresses the sides of the mouth. These soft tannins are a great compliment to the fruit and come to a crescendo on the finish, leaving the mouth feeling full and satisfied with a generous finish.
